Questions

How big is the Wmbus PCB?

It measures 55.8 × 20 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Wmbus use?

27 parts, built around the CH340E, USBLC6-2SC6, XC6206P332MR and SMD0603-020. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Wmbus KiCad files?

From the nobodyguy/wmbus_hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is wmbus.kicad_pcb and its schematic wmbus.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Wmbus design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
